The religion thread.

i guess that's all true if you believe the da vinci code.....which i don't, other than the part about the catholic church being nothing more than the mafia hiding behind a cross.  i don't know if the whole mary magdalene thing is true or not. 

what i do think is that jesus was the world's first great magician/con man.  maybe he pulled some david copperfield type shtein with the whole water to wine trick or something like that.  and people just bought into it. i dunno.  but one thing is for certain and it's that nearly every story about jesus is nothing more than a tall tale that spun out of control for years and years until someone actually put it in writing. 

sorry bible thumpers, but the story of your jesus is no more true than paul bunyan or santa claus.

If Desean Jackson gets hit by lightening in the home opener, I'm holding you responsible.

[Sgt PSN]

that's cool.  i'm just going to blame it on his bling. 

[Eagaholic]

Desean would probably outrun the lightening and pointing upward do an in yo face dance about it

[Sgt PSN]

does he dance before or after crossing the goal line?

Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion, survey says

If you want to know about God, you might want to talk to an atheist.

Heresy? Perhaps. But a survey that measured Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists and agnostics knew more, on average, than followers of most major faiths. In fact, the gaps in knowledge among some of the faithful may give new meaning to the term "blind faith."

Knowing myself the way I do, I don't find this to be surprising at all. Pretty cool none the less.

QUIZ

I got a 14/15.

[General_Failure]

I got the same. Knew as soon as I clicked that I got the Sabbath question wrong, and it annoyed me a little.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I didn't even check to see which one I got wrong.  Whatever.
